Derry City Tours
Busloads of Italians, Japanese, US tourists and backpackers are helping Derry achieve its undoubted potential as a tourist destination, according to Martin McCrossan of City Tours. The company has welcomed thousands of international visitors, including Japanese folk singer Kumiko Yokoi who has visited the city before and includes The Town I Love So Well - in Japanese - in her repertoire. 'Guided walking tours around the Walled City really helps give visitors a feel for Derry's history,' explains Martin. 'Some of them can get very emotional.' Martin and his team see each visitor as an ambassador for the city. 'We want to make sure they have a really positive experience,' he says, 'so, not only will they come back, but they'll also encourage others to visit as well.' Tourists have described Derry as 'beautiful', 'tranquil' and having 'coffee as good as Naples!' Find out for yourself and join one of Martin's City Tours to discover how far Derry has come in a relatively short space of time.
